![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The moment when Ava is revealed to be a swan is so gorgeously ambiguous, and the killing of Max back to his stag form has a satisfying bite of clarity to it, the two compliment eachother like salty and sweet. Spoiler I found the turning of animals into people was written with an enjoyable lack of clarity not so much that any absolutely necissary elements are lost, but enough that we are caught up in the same fog as Samantha to the extent that the plot is believable enough. These are all things its own characters might say about it in one of the many truthy episodes of creative writing workshops at uni, which punctuate the text with “real life”. It’s hot (in the voice of Paris Hilton but also in a deeply natural, sweaty, grimy way). So perfectly, like, meta, but maybe, like, a little pleased with itself? Pleased with itself in, like, an erotic way though. A feverish kiss, revelling in its own pretention and self-awareness. A monument to and mockery of academic creativity. ![]() A beautiful balance of literary and commercial interests and tone, deligtfully mysterious, thrillingly feminine and wild. ![]()
